REPLY
Minister for Finance ( Mr Lenihan) :
Apart from Members of the Government and Ministers of State, to date, 14 Deputies and 5 Senators have made gifts from salary to the Minister for Finance. As I have stated previously, it is open to the people concerned to cease the payment as they are now liable to the pension related deduction. Members of local authorities are covered by the public service pension related deduction.
